The Second Collection

Sage Takes a Breath

finding calm

Sage is sure that building the biggest sandcastle in the park will be easy — until one wobbly turret keeps tumbling down, and one small frustration swells into one very big feeling. When Sage's temper flattens the whole castle, a gentle bear named Bramble ambles over with a story of his own: the day a single bee sting turned into a hundred, all because he couldn't stay calm.

A warm, beautifully illustrated picture book about big feelings, calming down, and being brave enough to take a breath, Sage Takes a Breath is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Bear and the Bees." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
